I originally purchased this back in February when it was £205. At the moment it comes up as £172.57. Based on xe.com conversion rate that is $267. It usually floats around £220-230 mark.

Here is the Amazon calculations once VAT is removed.
£149.99
Postage & Packing: £22.58
Total before VAT: £172.57
VAT: £0.00
Order Total: £172.57

Vax Australia does not sell this model. The highest model we get is the Vax Rapide 2 at $499

The Dual V superseeds it in many ways: more powerful motor, narrower, heated cleaning, rotating spinscrub brushes, and auto mixing system.

The only risk is warranty. If its DOA you shouldn't have an issue with Amazon replacing it. If Vax are prepared to put a 6 year warranty on it in the UK it should be expected to last. I have had two previous shampooers in the past. This is by far the best one I have owned. I pulls up more dirt and with the heating the carpets dry quicker which allow the carpets to be walked on again sooner.

I was considering the Wertheim SE9000 before I bought this. I believe both the Wertheim and Dual V are pretty comparable machines. The Wertheim probably has a slightly better brush design but the Dual V brushes are great too. Much better then the Rapide 2. Wertheim is $999 and figure at the price difference is worth the warranty risk. I can buy 3 and still be ahead

If want to find some reviews try searching the Hoover Dual V. Vax and Hoover are owned by the same parent company.

    Nice One and yesterday my 10 year old shampooers packed in - bought.

  • bibiphok on 21/06/2012 - 01:55

    Thanks, was looking for a good deal on one of these

  • cozmo on 21/06/2012 - 07:38

    Do these work better than the cleaners you can hire like the "Rug Doctor" ect ? Looks like a great price.

    • AG_ACT on 21/06/2012 - 13:19

      Keen to hear views on that too…. I tried doing a google serch, didn't come up with any comparisons

      • Gomo on 21/06/2012 - 17:04

        I've used rug doctor on my carpets before and while it resulted in getting black water the carpets still weren't that clean, hoping this can do a better job :)

  • ihbh on 21/06/2012 - 08:31

    I bought one with the Bosch mower in April. It works very well, but is a bit noisy.

    • bibiphok on 21/06/2012 - 09:30

      All the different models and brands are noisy, there's not much you can do about that I guess

      • rokkz on 21/06/2012 - 11:52

        Guys what shampoo do you use and where do you get it from??

        • 4agte on 21/06/2012 - 12:27

          I have a few car detailing brands but you can pick chemicals at Godfreys and Bunnings. Most mix anywhere from 20:1 to 80:1. I purchase a 10 litre plastic water jerry container and premixed mine up

        • rokkz on 21/06/2012 - 16:58

          Cheers Will do

  • shump on 21/06/2012 - 10:07

    Is this better than the Vax Sukka for $199?
    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/71954

    • 4agte on 21/06/2012 - 12:29

      Yes this is better dedicated shampooer but the Dual V is not a vacuum and shouldn't be used as one

      • shump on 21/06/2012 - 13:29

        Thanks, bought one

  • rokkz on 21/06/2012 - 10:27

    Isn't that just a wet and dry vacuum ?

  • Gomo on 21/06/2012 - 14:02

    wow.. this is amazing! Thanks mate, deffinately worth something for me to keep in the house and future houses to live in ;) I have a Dyson vacuum cleaner and use it from time to time, but hire out rug doctor from woolies but at this price easier to just buy!! I'm guessing I should be able to use the current cleaning stuff I already have?

    • 4agte on 21/06/2012 - 14:13

      Yes just use your existing shampoo. A bottle is included with it as well.

      • Gomo on 21/06/2012 - 15:04

        Ahh awesome! Thanks!

      • Gomo on 21/06/2012 - 17:06

        I have the rug doctor ones and Bissell they'll do fine yeah? Well I'll know when it arrives ;) Is there a cheap place to get good quality liquids for in the future?

        • 4agte on 21/06/2012 - 21:28

          Yes they will be fine. To be honest there is probably little savings between brands. I'm currently using this one http://www.woodywax.com.au/products/3D_Extractor_Shampoo_1_G…

          Directions are 4 to 8oz of concentrate per 5 gallons of water. That's 80:1 mix at the strongest dilution. That's 300 litres worth of product.

          Given the dilution ratio on most carpet cleaners even premium ones are quite cheap per litre

  • Gomo on 22/06/2012 - 07:41

    Impressed, got an email early this morning to let me know my item had been shipped! UPS tracking no and everything :)

    • mtchye on 26/06/2012 - 13:20

      Ordered on the 22nd, received yesterday on the 25th, all the way from the UK!

      I don't understand how it was this quick but they're on the ball for sure.

      Haven't tried out the machine yet :P

      • simion on 29/06/2012 - 16:18

        I saw quite a mix of good and bad reviews on Amazon. Have you tried the machine yet? Does it do a good job ?

  • mowog on 22/06/2012 - 13:34

    How is everybody paying for this? Just trying to get my final price down a bit. It is working out around $289 with my commonwealth debit card.

  • nicky100 on 22/06/2012 - 15:26

  • Gomo on 29/06/2012 - 22:03

    Umm?! I received mine a few days ago, but only tonight I opened it up to have a look.. and the first thing I noticed is I'll need a UK to AU power adapter… lol.. OP Should of mentioned this??

  • john_conner on 01/07/2012 - 16:20

    Did anyone else not receive their bottle of carpet cleaning solution?

    • Gomo on 01/07/2012 - 17:05

      I Got mine… it was in the cardboard section the very first bit when you open it up

      • john_conner on 01/07/2012 - 23:04

        I don't think I got a cardboard section - only foam holders and a plastic bag with the hose and user manual.
        Everything seemed to have moved (maybe because there was no cardboard section).
        Its ok - I'd rather have the solution missing than anything else!

  • tesla on 02/07/2012 - 21:31

    Hello people,
    I am seriously thinking to get this one, but a bit nervous about the cleaning solution. Once used up, where do we buy that liquid here in Oz?

    • Gomo on 03/07/2012 - 11:00

      You can use what ever you like as far as I'm aware.. also dont forget a UK -> AU power adapter

  • Gomo on 04/07/2012 - 22:25

    Just used mine! Fabulous!! Very impressed my dirty water tank when i emptied it was black as! And even had dirt sludge at the bottom! So its good to know it works well :)

  • bilbobogges on 05/07/2012 - 23:26

    Mine arrived exactly as they stated. Changed the plug over to an Aussie one. And WOW the crap this thing pulled up was amazing, I'm now looing at what looks like brand new carpet again. It's a very nice peice of equipment.

    • Gomo on 06/07/2012 - 09:50

      Yep! that's what I thought as well! very good!! I think repeat applications of shorter periods of time will make it even better! I also tried some rug doctor liquid and some brisell stuff and it worked just a good as the vax stuff!

      • simion on 06/07/2012 - 13:21

        The carpet you have, is that with long fiber? DO you think it will work well on the carpet nearly without long-fiber, like a door mat that kind of material?

        • Gomo on 06/07/2012 - 14:57

          I'd say yes because I tried it on my bathroom mat but I gave up cause the suction was to great and I needed someone to hold the matt down lol.. but with the suction and the scrubbing the unit does it will clean any carpet I reckon! my brand new unit is dirty as now :( anyone got any tips on how to clean it lol..

          Mean while I'll refer to the manual ;)

        • simion on 10/07/2012 - 17:21

          ooh thanks! So tempting to buy one! Just need to persuade my partner. :)

  • Gomo on 11/07/2012 - 07:31

    Does anyone know a cheaper alternative to cleaning liquid for this thing? :) I still have probably half a bottle left after doing my entire house 3 bedroom and downstairs and 2 cars!
